Your 2023 Pick Ups
It's December again and time to show off your 2023 finds.
We've seen a lot of great items over the year....so no matter what you got, a lot or a little, just post it.
*** Please keep the photo count manageable. Just a single photo of an item. That said, I highly recommend creating collages.
And if a German Helmet happens to be in the mix and it's your favorite, please post it in the link below.

A very odd year for me. Have just been overwhelmed with work and home life that my searching for items has been curtailed. Still, I've been able to find some nice items thanks to fellow collectors thinking of me as well as the attending the Max Show.
This is most of what I picked up. Mostly weighted towards WW1/Imperial which is my current focus, but was also extremely happy to pick up three really nice TR awards from a fellow member here on WRF who found them at an antique shop. All in excellent condition.
Finally found a nice named tunic and roll call roster for the 42nd Rainbow division (call out to Politefan for finding it at the Max). My Childhood home was build on top of the old Camp Mills which was the the 42nd's home base.
Also was nice to add a minty M1 Hawley as well as some great Haub's and visor.
Finally, being a Greek (partial mutt) myself, it was nice to finally add a period correct WW2 Greek helmet.

Sold off a few things early in the 2023 year. Focused the past 2-3 months on some Fieldgear and Gebirgsjager items.

Fantastic pick ups Kirk. Love that goblet. Different but still similar to one I've had for a long time.
Photos as always are superior!
